A denial has been issued regarding allegations of sponsored attacks on a presidential candidate. The candidate, Peter Obi, had claimed that thugs blocked his access to certain areas. A statement from the governor's office denies these allegations, saying the candidate poses no threat to the governor's re-election.

Security agencies are tasked with handling such issues, not thugs. The governor's office made this clear in their statement.

Further details about the allegations and the governor's response are available from the source.
